RESET Retreat Spain

The RESET programme

Carefully tailored to your employees.

Personal · Professional · Tailored

Space to unwind and move forward differently

When stress persists and recovery becomes harder, timely professional support can make a difference. RESET combines a careful initial assessment, five days of support in Spain, and evaluation and aftercare after returning home.

The programme is intended for employees experiencing persistent stress, overload or reduced resilience, whose participation is assessed as appropriate during the professional initial assessment. Every group receives a tailored programme, adapted to participants and developed in consultation with the employer.

Psychological support is at the heart of the programme. Accommodation, nutrition, movement and relaxation support this process. Discussions with psychologists about personal matters remain confidential; organisational objectives and practical arrangements are discussed with the employer.

From work pressures to timely professional support
Distance from everyday surroundings, with attention to the person behind the employee.

Before departure · In Spain · After returning

One coordinated programme in three stages

01

Before departure: a careful initial assessment

Under the supervision of a clinical psychologist, psychologists assess the individual’s circumstances, capacity to cope, expectations and goals. They determine whether participation is appropriate and responsible, and what support is needed.

Participants discuss their personal needs and boundaries directly with the psychologist. Where other support or treatment would be more appropriate, the psychologist advises on this. The organisation receives only the practical information it needs.

02

Five days in Spain: support and recovery

The psychologists retain professional oversight of the programme they have designed specifically for the group. They attend the location in Spain at agreed times to provide psychological support and instruct the professional programme facilitators on delivery. Professional conversations and group sessions alternate with rest, reflection, movement, healthy meals and relaxation. A dedicated coordinator is the contact person for daily organisation, structure and practical support throughout the five-day stay.

The balance between group activities and individual sessions follows the professional assessment and agreed arrangements. Participants develop insights and a personal action plan for home and work.

03

After returning: evaluation and aftercare

Aftercare begins after returning home with an evaluation, followed by a one-hour aftercare session with a psychologist. Both are included in the standard programme. Participants discuss their experiences, personal action plan and its application in daily life and at work.

Employers can purchase additional psychological aftercare from RESET. Its scope, timing and cost are agreed in advance. Any individual treatment outside the RESET programme is discussed separately with the professional concerned. When purchasing the RESET programme, the employer can purchase additional hours of psychological aftercare. The number of additional hours, timing and costs are agreed in advance and specified in the quotation.

The professional framework

Our psychological approach

With professional support, participants work through five connected steps. The psychologists adapt the content and pace to participants’ needs and capabilities.

  1. 01

    Recognise

    Learn to recognise personal stress signals, overload and insufficient recovery.

  2. 02

    Understand

    Understand patterns, habits and circumstances that cause or sustain tension.

  3. 03

    Recover

    Create room for rest and recovery, with attention to relaxation, sleep, movement and a healthy daily structure.

  4. 04

    Act differently

    Practise setting boundaries, making conscious choices and behaviours that support a better balance.

  5. 05

    Help prevent relapse

    Translate insights into a personal action plan and discuss its application at home and at work during evaluation and aftercare.

These steps form a connected process, not a fixed daily schedule. Detailed exercises, assessment questions and internal professional protocols are not published.

A calm structure, with room for personal needs

A carefully structured day provides guidance without pressure to perform. Professional support, rest periods and appropriate activities alternate. The final programme reflects the initial assessments, group composition and professional coordination.

Movement and relaxation

Walking, mobility, stretching and gentle movement are adapted to participants’ capabilities. Breathing and relaxation sessions encourage calm. Participation in these relaxation activities is voluntary; personal boundaries and capabilities are respected. Additional activities are possible where appropriate, available and agreed in advance.

Nutrition and daily rhythm

Breakfast, lunch and dinner provide structure during the stay. We choose balanced meals and accommodate dietary requirements and allergies notified in advance. Rest, sleep and sufficient time between programme activities receive deliberate attention.

The right setting for each RESET programme

RESET carefully selects accommodation to match participants’ needs, the group’s composition and the season. Calm, privacy, comfort and space for professional support are central considerations.

Spanish balnearios with natural warm mineral springs hold a distinctive place in our offering. Where appropriate, thermal facilities can support the programme alongside movement, relaxation and other recovery-supporting activities.

High-quality hotels, resorts, traditional fincas and small exclusive properties may also be suitable. The setting follows the group’s needs.

An environment that creates space

Carefully selected accommodation supports professional guidance and offers space for rest, reflection and connection.

Expert support, with clear responsibilities

RESET offers one tailored programme. Language, participating psychologists and their collaboration are adapted to participants. The psychologists carefully coordinate assessment, preparation, support, evaluation and aftercare.

For Dutch and Flemish employers

Stella van Schaik, Psychologist & Clinical Coordinator – the Netherlands, and her team at Psycholoog op Afstand provide the Dutch-language initial assessment and preparation. The assessment covers personal circumstances, needs, goals and suitability for participation.

After the assessment, Stella and her team securely transfer the information necessary for support directly to the psychologists involved in Spain. These psychologists provide the agreed psychological support during the five-day stay. The language used on site is agreed in advance.

After the stay, the Spanish psychologists provide professional feedback to Stella and her team. Stella and her team then provide evaluation and aftercare in the Netherlands: an evaluation after returning home, followed by a one-hour aftercare session within the standard programme. Employers can purchase additional psychological aftercare. When purchasing the RESET programme, the employer can purchase additional hours of psychological aftercare. The number of additional hours, timing and costs are agreed in advance and specified in the quotation.

For Spanish employers

For participation through a Spanish employer, the Spanish psychologists involved provide the entire psychological programme in Spanish: initial assessment and preparation, support during the five days in Spain, evaluation and aftercare after returning home. They coordinate the content and allocation of responsibilities directly with each other.

For Spanish employers too, aftercare begins after returning home with an evaluation, followed by a one-hour aftercare session with a Spanish psychologist; both are included in the standard programme. Additional psychological aftercare can be purchased through RESET and is delivered by the Spanish psychologists involved. When purchasing the RESET programme, the employer can purchase additional hours of psychological aftercare. The number of additional hours, timing and costs are agreed in advance and specified in the quotation.

The expertise of the Spanish psychologists

The psychology team in Spain brings together expertise in occupational stress and anxiety, burnout prevention, emotional regulation, group dynamics and workplace wellbeing. Experience in individual support, workshops and HR connects personal support with organisational practice. RESET matches professional involvement to the participants and selected region.

Professional, secure and confidential

The psychologists work under their own professional responsibility and retain professional oversight of the tailored programme. They provide on-site support at agreed times and give professional facilitators the instructions needed for delivery. Professional handovers and feedback take place directly between the psychologists through the agreed secure process. RESET handles business and practical organisation.

The content of personal conversations, assessment information and psychological records remains with the professionals involved. Employers, RESET, hotels, transport providers and other facilitators do not have access to it. They receive only the information needed for business and practical delivery.

What RESET does and does not offer

RESET is a preventive, non-clinical early intervention and recovery programme. It is not a holiday and does not replace necessary medical or individual psychological treatment or occupational physician support. The professional initial assessment determines whether participation is appropriate. Recovery and the prevention of absence cannot be guaranteed.
